The photograph is amazing, Xenia! It really conveys space in the landscape. I had to look carefully for the ducks – how did you get them to do that? 🙂 My favourite lines in the haiku are:
‘this dance with time
a pause in all our journeys’.

Thank you so much for your kind words Kim 💜 There is only one duck in the second image, the same male mallard as in the first image. He was taking off from the water and created a trail of splashes with his feet. I was using a high shutter speed on the camera that captured the motion of water on his ‘runway’ 🙂💖 xxx
